  1. Wow! What a lovely meal we had last night. This is really a dish you could serve company. I added more pecans than cornflakes and cut back the sugar to 1 tsp. It was a lovely meal, and one I will be using again and again. So easy to prepare. Thanks RecipeNut for sharing this one!
     
  2. I made this for dinner last night, and it was excellent. Made as directed with chicken legs only, as that's what I had on hand. Worked perfectly. Yummy, crispy crust, which my husband really loved. Both of my young children enjoyed it as well. Made with easy-to-find ingredients. Tastes a lot like fried chicken, but with a much better coating. I wasn't sure whether or not to remove the skin from the legs, the recipe does not say, so I left it on and it worked fine. I think it would work without as well. Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. I also cooked this on a rack over my baking dish - crispy all round. Baked vegetables underneath the rack. My husband love it. Will definately make it again, and again.
     
  4. Absolutely delicious.
     
  5. i liked the recipe:) so did the family...<br/><br/>i did change<br/>sugar= brown sugar<br/>corn flakes=bran flakes<br/>garlic powder=garclic salt parsley flakes<br/><br/>overall went very well. i used 3 eggs to coat and also about doubled the shake but concept stayed the same.<br/><br/>made with<br/>garlic/onion mashed potatoes with a chicken gravy made from drippings.. <br/><br/>defiantly will save for future use.

Tweaks

  1. I loved this recipe. Instead of drumsticks, I used chicken breast. My husband and I don't really like the drumsticks. Anyway, I also had to sub breadcrumbs for the cornflakes b/c I did not have any, and it still came out great. I do plan to try it again with the cornflakes though. Thanks for posting such a good recipe, I plan to make this pretty often since it is easy to throw together when I get home from work.
